According to a recent report by ABC de Sevilla (translated by Football.London), Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso is seeking a move away from Spain in this off-season. The same source has claimed that the Argentine sensation came to a verbal agreement that he will be allowed to part ways with Betis if the La Liga team receives an offer around €75m during this summer transfer window.
Giovani Lo Celso: Real Betis’ Rising Star
The South American prospect enjoyed a majestic campaign for the Spanish outfit after he put in numerous game-changing displays for them in the previous season. Lo Celso has a promising future in European football so Mauricio Pochettino will do well to lure him to North London this summer.
The La Liga talent scored 16 times while creating six assists in 46 matches on all fronts during his loan spell at the Benito Villamarín Stadium last season. The 23-year-old’s remarkable goal-scoring contributions helped Betis secure a solid tenth-place finish in the Spanish top-flight standings in the previous term.
He found the back of the net on two occasions in 18 international appearances for the Argentine national team thus far. Lo Celso also had the honour of playing for his country in the Olympic Games as well.
What Will The Argentine Midfield Ace Bring To North London?
Lo Celso is quick and agile, which allows him to complete some dangerous dribbles from midfield. He has also transformed himself into an unforgiving finisher in the final third. The Argentine is often accurate with his passes, but he needs to add more assists to his game if he wants to become a world-class midfielder someday.
The South American playmaker is a difficult man to dispossess at the centre of the park and is a significant goal-threat from long-range. However, Lo Celso needs to develop himself into a more productive midfielder if he intends to prove his worth in the Premier League. He will be an ideal signing for Spurs as they look to challenge across all competitions next season.
Lo Celso Keen On Summer Departure: Big Boost For Pochettino?
If reports of Lo Celso’s desire to leave are accurate, then it will be a massive boost for Spurs’ chances of landing him before the start of the new campaign. The Argentine facilitator will undoubtedly add more depth to Pochettino’s squad. He could also be a perfect replacement for Christian Eriksen if the Dane ends up leaving the North London club this summer.
